sporadic Nintendo griping

Reggie oddly unprofessional, flame-y

In talking with Geoff Keighly of Spike Tv’s GameHead program [show], Reggie made comments of a forum sort when asked about PlayStation 3’s US launch situation.

“Were those the people ducking to not get shot?”

Thepresident of the company, folks. You see, usually when game company execs get mouthy and fling their mudballs, they diss a competitor’s strategy, success/failure rate, numbers, et cetera. Dude over here made jokes about shooting incidents during the PS3 launch. A tad off-color, wouldn’t you say?

Wow, first it’s Perrin Kaplan claiming anything from Wii being region free, misunderstanding marketing terms, claiming the features in the Wii rollout being so slow is simply because us Nintendo fans are far too stupid two wrap our heads around a multifunction console, and likening the Sony consumer base as a bunch of dumb gun toting thugs. Now it’s Reggie making the gun jokes.

Hey, Nintendo. How about instead of pulling this bull, you start working on FIXING the game situation. How about some games with meat to them that were not directly raped from your Gamecube consumer base? No offense, but VC and minigames is getting pretty old and it would be nice to have an interview where you jackasses talk about how to rectify the constantly delayed game releases.

And yes, I know Sony has this problem too, but let’s put it this way. You don’t see Phil Harrison saying “Maybe that GBA SP thought it was a Pikachu when it killed that kid… lolz.. burn!”
